I think more than some hard-and-fast age rule, the natural culture of modesty in the family might be a workable standard in most cases. I've not paraded around butt naked in front of my kid for as long as I recall -- but not because I think the sight of my body would be somehow intrinsically wrong beyond a certain age. It's just not my style; and I know my daughter well enough to know it'd be odd for her. At the same time, when/if she might happen upon me while I'm undressed (and it happens), there's no freak out. I simply need a moment.
She and my wife, on the other hand, are always running around naked. Doesn't bug me.
What's important, I think, is to instill that nudity can mean quite different things out in the world, and so there needs to be a proper awareness of boundaries with respect to context. [Edited 1/29/11 22:15pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

You'll know.
My kids are 5 and 7 and still see me naked. My daughter more so than my son. The only reason it's not so frequent in front of my son is because he now stares at me curiously and so I feel it's not appropriate to walk around ass naked. But if he comes in the room when I'm naked I don't cover up or anything.
Were pretty open about stuff like that here and its never been a problem. I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies Whats it all worth only the heart can measure It's not whats in the mirror but what's left inside | |

My daughter just got a bubble bath with me two nights ago. She loves it. I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure

I think the "locker room rule" is pretty good.
Where I work, there's a huge fitness facility. The rule is, once a child of school age, he or she is required to use the gender-appropriate locker room. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I have always felt comfortable being naked around my daughter, my friend who has three boys and no girls, says she has never let her boys see her naked. Rhythm floods my heart♥The melody it feeds my soul | |

Funny that this question was asked, because a few days ago I was on the phone with my female friend and her son had just walked out of the shower and stood there butt naked and asked for a clean towel. He's 17!!! Then she whispered into the phone "...Damn! My baby's got a dick like his Daddy!..." I thought it was really wierd! Then I'm like.."Really?!" If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in! | |

I think that's gross. Not just the TMI, but the fact that those parents don't have a proper sense of boundaries - and haven't instilled them in their kids. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

It never really bothered me. | |

I only have girls so there is no problem with me. With my husband the girls kinda set the boundaries. My oldest was 6 before she closed the bathroom door, my youngest was 3. She was a lot more conscious of her privacy. We don't parade around nude and make a joke if one of the kids walks in when we are partially clad, the girls usually do the EWWWW thing and we will hug or something equally gross for parents to do. 
We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color. Maya Angelou | |

The moment you child starts asking you "What's that?!?" | |

That's quite creepy for his mama to even say that. | |

I know! It freaked me out a bit too. If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in! | |

I mean. At first it sounds kind of inappropriate, and I don't ever see that happening with my boy at that age. But I meean, nudity is REALLY NOT A BIG DEAL UNLESS YOU MAKIE IT ONE. So I wouldn't necessarily say its gross. I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure

I have no memories of either parent walking around naked in front of me in our home(s). But I went to nude beaches and campgrounds with my father, stepmother and stepbrothers and sisters until I was 15 (I'm sure it would have been longer but I haven't seen him since the Fall of that year). Never though anything of it as it was just part of life in the Spring and Summer (and something I continued on my own during my hippie years). Naked people aren't scary. Violent people are scary. | |

I never saw my mom in her bathing suit areas, but I did happen upon my dad a handful of times as a teen by accident. It was no big deal. It was a, "Sorry dude, lemme know when you're done." Or a "HEY I'm in here!" before flushing the toilet to make the water cold.
I don't think nudity in general was a big thing for my family, it just never happened. Perhaps that was by design, I'm not sure. If I had a child, I would not be afraid of being naked around them no matter what my age was. Why would I? I am not worried that my kids will find me sexually attractive and I definitely won't be finding them sexually attractive, so what exactly am I scared of again?
Why do people always make it creepy by insisting there's sexual undertones to a naked body? Weird. | |

In my own opinion - any age! but thats just me. Each to their own. "I may not agree with what you say but I'll fight for your right to say it"
Be proud of who you are not what they want you to be... | |

That's the part I don't get it. If there were some comments that were sexually derogatory though, then that's pushing it but nudity itself is not that creepy. | |
